The woman caught in adultery
Pericope 217 recounts the episode of the woman caught in adultery (John 8.1-11), in which Pharisees set a trap for Jesus by bringing him a woman caught in the very act. Jesus foils the trap with his famous saying inviting the one who is without sin to cast the first stone, then forgives the woman. This account, whose textual authenticity is debated, illustrates the union of divine justice and mercy, and reveals Jesus' unique authority to justify.

The Murder of Etienne
An analysis of the account of the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7.54-60), the first Christian martyr. This article examines the Sanhedrin's anger, the legally irregular nature of the execution, the vision of the glorified Christ granted to Stephen, and the theological parallel Luke draws between the disciple's suffering and that of Jesus. Saul's presence foreshadows the continuation of the apostolic narrative.
